for middle east !

Democracy needs goodwill from the population to be applied successfully. So far, freedom has been used by rival factions in Irak to kill each others and settle scores. Bush has nothing to do with that except being the revealer of what was in irakis' minds for a long long time.

Imagine what they would do to us if we let them. We will always defend ourselves. No matter what they rest of the world says.

This is really terrible...! Shiite killing Sunni! Is this a civil war? When is it going to finish? Will it spread to other arab countries? Keep me posted, Ynet.

I can't believe how bad it is over there. Ditto to #3, these guys are maniacle. Just think what would would happen if the international world body had thier way.....these guys would be running amuck, has v'halila.

Civil war is raging and it is true that it was a boiling pot over there that would have blown as soon as saddam hussein would have weakened or died. Bush like a child just lifted the cover up and hastened the civil war. And unfortunately, the US army is overpowered by the insurgents and losing ground each day.

""Bush has nothing to do with that except being the revealer of what was in irakis' minds for a long long time."" Bush has everything to do with it. Even I a nobody knew it was impossible to assume to tame Islam with democracy & freedom. That this president is that stupid ,that incompetent and clueless spells disaster for Iraq Israel and the U.S. We see what his Road Map has brought to Israel and how his rewarding of Palestinian terrorists with Jewish homes and land has brought peace to Gaza and Israel. God told Abraham ,I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. The Road Map is a curse upon Israel and this president has cursed himself . Looking at Iraq we can see that everything Bush touches is cursed as is Gaza and the Palestinian's. Israel must escape ,AND SOON from his nightmare Road Map to survive .

Dictatorships are volatile, even more so when they exist in a country with deep-seated inter-ethnic conflict. Even had the US not ousted saddam, it's safe to assume that even had he suffered a natural death in a few years, there would have then been violent infighting. Yes, the US facilitated the infighting, but it certainly did not create the hatred and tension of which this fighting is the manifestation. The cause of this hatred and tension was already very deeply rooted. When pointing fingers, realize that more fingers should be pointed at the cause than at the catalyst of something that inevitably would have taken place at some point within the next few decades.

Bush's decision were indeed a catalyst to irak violence BUT not the root cause which lies in the islamo-arabic culture of violence. Marcel, I'm not arguing whether Bush opened a box but didn't make what was inside that box. Arabs are the first to be blamed for the current situation.

Its obious that people like Fadi, want a war (Jihad) against Israel. These people blame the US, Bush and Israel for all the ills of their despicable societies. But unlike WW2, this time Israel is prepared, and so are millions of Christians (Infidels) and Jews. We have simply not been aroused enough to intervene. But the Arabs will rue the day we do. Yes, if Israel were to be defeated, there would be a 21 century Holocaust. Just look at Iraq, with Sunni vs Shia and the insurgents killing both. It's time we either send in the marines full force, or get out.

-They're killing each other!

'war to end all wars'. we seem to be unable to grasp how violent we are as a species .and the war in iraq with islam in the mix it is brutally obvious the us has underestmated this religions tendency to suicidal violence. the violence between muslim factions only prooves that the problem is within islam itself .no matter what the us did or did not do.

erase the fact that muslims are extremely stupig. muslims are never at peace with anyone, not even with themselves. Go ahead, stay blind and stupig. The free world should just stay on the sideline and watch these show of love between peace-loving muslim brothers. www.faithfreedom.org

the rest of the arab world is silent............

Arab world is ignoring the killing, because , as long as Israel in not the one doing the killing, Qatar is not interested in the news, how sad........., and how true.............

needs some good talkbackists for the pro Israeli lobby. go to Aljazeera.net, they could use some balance there....

bush is not the one doing the killing, YOU ARABS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER!!!

Bush and Rice etc. you too Fadi, go to www.memri.org and view clip #1285 of Iyad Jamal, Iraqi p.m., he hit the nail on the head, well spoken!
